PrintBefore we begin our semester of study together, it is important that you review all of the material on all these pages and on our course syllabus. These resources will not only prepare you to be successful in this course, but they will also help you prepare for the "Course Orientation" quiz at the end of the orientation. You must score 100% on that quiz to gain access to the assignments for this course...and the answers are all contained in this orientation! Don't worry, you can take it more than once if you need to.
On the following pages, you will find important information about the course structure, requirements, scheduling, and technical requirements and assistance...all of which you'll need to know in order to pass the course. Remember, you are also responsible for the information located on our course syllabus.
Have you looked at our syllabus? This course orientation will complement and expand on the information provided on our syllabus. Be sure to review that document, too...carefully! A link to the syllabus is also located in the main navigation bar.
